Dangerous Heat Index and Warnings for WDW today

[MissM]

Anyone out at Disney today, please be careful! There are severe weather warnings for the heat index right now.

Yes Florida is always hot in Summer, but this is extreme even for us. 98% humidity and a feels-like of 106F/41C is enough to be a worry for anyone.

Be safe out there today!!

You guys stink! :lol: It's "only" a feels-like of 91F here in Tampa but I keep both my local and WDW weather on favorites, so when I saw that, I was like holy crap!

I refuse to go to the parks during the day when it is this hot. There is absolutely no fun to be had in this weather. I may go to the parks for a little while tomorrow evening, but certainly not until after about 5:00PM.

I hear ya. I don't go in the summer months either. Especially not in the day. It's just too darn hot.

This is normal for this time of year and for the next 3 to 4 months

Its a heat wave here hahahaha. I feel you though where is summer sick of the rain would rather be complaining that it is too hot out.

 

[fillerup]

Yeah, it's hot, but in no way does it feel like 106. Most other sites are showing a heat index of upper 90s, which seems about right.

How has the smoke been in WDW as of late? It has been really bad in north Florida and was wondering if has made its way that far south.

Same here in Wisconsin. It's been a really crappy spring here and summer doesn't look much better. :veryconfu

I live in central Alabama so our summer weather is about the same as central Florida; we get a little more heat and a little less humidity but our heat indices are nearly the same. Here's the forecast from now to September which might be wrong if a hurricane comes throught; it will be hot, humid, and there might be a thunderstorm in the afternoon.

We're going in August but we live in Texas and it's been over 100 degrees here for over 20 days.

Its worse in some spots more than others. You can smell it down I 4 but in the parks not really at least not at my work. Lol

I've lived in Florida for 25+ years. I know what our summers are like. But a feels-like of 106 is extreme even for us here. Feels-like in the high 90's? Sure. 106? That's insane.

That was as of 11:30ish this morning. We are due rain across West and Central Florida today so if they got rain, probably some of the heat index went down.

I honestly can't tell ya. I haven't been to WDW since my birthday (May 16th) because of being in the hospital and my health problems right now.

I lived in the South for many years and remember the hot and muggy summers well, and a 106 degree heat index is insane. I hope everyone takes it easy out there in the WDW parks!

And since we're playing the Weather Game, here in SoCal the weather has been perfectly delightful all spring and early summer. Today in Anaheim it's textbook perfect (again) here in the middle of the afternoon ;

Florida's summer weather is precisely why we no longer come in the summer. Early on we used to come in late May or early June. Not any more. We now confine our trips to fall or early spring.

That's very smart. When we go in July and overhear other guests complaining about the heat, I feel like butting in and saying, "Duh, you came to central Florida in July to walk around on asphalt, what did you think the weather would be like?" Some people. I work outside a lot so I'm a little more acclimated than others may be.
